In July 2010, Selina published her first novel, “Memory’s Wake”. Writing has always been an interest of Selina’s, and here you can read posts about her novel, other poems and writing she’s done, and general thoughts about books and writing.
I still remember when I first put my art in an online gallery. I was fourteen years old and the whole “internet” thing wasn’t as big back then. Elfwood was already around though, and as a timid amateur artist, I posted the minimum amount of art that was required to actually be eligible for a gallery. [...]

In my usual indecisive way, I’ve decided that I didn’t like the cover art for Memory’s Wake. I’ve been working on the new cover and come up with something I’m pleased with, that I think will sell a stack more books, too. I wanted to surprise you all with a brand new cover design! Here [...]

I wanted to share a little of my writing process as I work on this short story that fits into my Empath Chronicles series. Writing a short story is a bit different to working on a full novel, and each is it’s own different art form, but there is some overlap in the way I [...]

While Memory’s Wake is illustrated with my ideas of how the characters might look*, my paranormal romance novella Emotionally Charged doesn’t have any illustrations of the characters.

I’m also expecting, unless the baby is more than a few days late, to have a newborn son or daughter by then! I’ve also just released another “baby” into the world, with [...]

So I’m 2/3rds of my way through writing a new book. It’s a novella, which means it’s not a full length novel, but longer than a short story. This particular one will be a bit over 20,000 words, which is about 80 pages in paperback form. A novel, by classification, is generally considered to be [...]
